Jake loses Gold Ring while chopping down 100ft tall tree

2 years ago

G,day Guys👍 We got the call from Jake who just lost a very special gold ring given to him many years ago by his girl friend who currently is NOT impressed with the loss BUT is understanding and supportive. First thing we reassured Jake if the ring is here we will find it, that put his mind at ease. After the call we were on location within the hour with Jake, we went through all possibilities of where the ring could be then we took out our XP Deus ll Metal Detector with the Quest X Pointer Pro. Sectioned off the search area, the biggest issue was all the saw dust from the tree removal was up to our waist and this search had to be broken down into increment’s, detecting through one layer of saw dust at a time. This was a time consuming search method but had to be done for the search to be 100 % accurate. After an hours search Jake lost all hope of the ring to be found. I said don’t worry mate it’s here and we will find it. I asked where else he was, Jake replied over there but I was only there for a few minutes, I said it ONLY take a second for your ring to fall off. After 2 minutes search in this location we get an AWESOME signal it sounds promising, we then took out our Quest X Pointer Pro to pinpoint the target and BINGO we are on the GOLD💍👍 Jake Said No F#$kn way!! I never thought it was there as I was ONLY there literally for a few minutes. Jake was jumping for joy and called his girlfriend straight away they were both in shock as this was a big search and many metal trash targets were interfering with the search but we got through all the trash and obstacles and with perseverance and patients we reunited Jake with his beautiful lost ring💍👍

Lena lost her 21st B,day present 🎁 Gold Ring 💍

2 years ago

G,day Guys👍 We received a call out from Lena on Bronte Beach who had lost her Gold Ring A gift 🎁 to her on her 21st B,day a few years ago. Lena had broken down in tears fearing she’s lost this very special Ring forever, we managed to calm her down over the phone and most important reassure her that if the ring is in the search area PROVIDED we will find it and if it’s NOT there we’ll extend the search area till the ring is found. We love ❤️ this hobby it’s NOT a job to us. That’s why our success rates are almost 100% successful. We broke down the search area into two grids as it was a large section of the beach to search, we had grid A and grid B, I asked Lena the most likely grid the ring would be in. We used the XP Deus ll metal detector with the Quest X Pointer Pro to perform this search for her lost ring and after an hour search it was NOT in grid A. Lena was Losing ALL hope at this point and I was feeling more than confident of finding her ring😃. I explained rings are Not always where we think they are, we have found HUNDREDS of rings for owners and many are in the last place you expect it to be. This is NOT new to me and why I was confident we’ll find her ring in grid B. After another 20 minutes search BINGO we are on the GOLD💍👍 Lena could NOT believe her eyes thinking her ring was lost forever then she sees the sparkle of GOLD glimmering from the sand she reached down in Joy Crying, and said THANK YOU so much THANK YOU 😃 Lena’s Face just filled with pure happiness really shows how much her ring means to her and it was our absolute pleasure, to reunite Lena with her Beautiful Gold Ring💍👍

Car key found.

2 years ago

Harry and his mates were down from the Canberra region enjoying a bit of a "coasties" break, when he lost his one and only car key on the beach at Malua, the previous day. They were in a bit of trouble as they had to drive home on Monday and had no means of transport. Harry's mum contacted me and I was able to detect his key in the soft sand. Needless to say much to the relief of Harry and his buddies. Have fun and stay safe boys.

Lost ring found

2 years ago

Geoff was down in Batemans Bay for a few days. He dropped his Wedding ring in the surf on one of our beautiful beaches. Before he was able to retrieve it, it became covered in sand. He hired a metal detector but was unable to find it so he rang me from Sydney this morning. After about an hour of searching I was able to detect it in knee high water. This wedding band is now on its way back to its owner. A big thank you to Geoff for reaching out to Lost Rings Finder.

Custom designed Engagement Ring recovered

Monika and her fiancé Earl were at the Beach having a pre-wedding photo shoot. Monika felt her beautiful diamond engagement ring fall from her finger into the water. Naturally they were devastated, not only for the value of the ring but the fact that Earl had designed it and had it custom made. I got the call from Detect A Den about the loss and drove to Mckenzies Beach. Fortunately they had placed markers on the sand for the approximate location, and we were soon able to reunite Monika with her engagement ring.

iPhone recovery

Got a call this morning from this young man. Whilst walking his dog on the beach he had needed to jump over a stream of water draining into the sea and later realized that his iPhone had fallen from his pocket. Fortunately it was waterproof. After a few minutes searching in a downpour I was able to locate it covered by about an inch of sand. The phone contained precious family photos so he was relieved to have it returned.

Dual ring recovery

2 years ago

I got a call regarding two lost rings on South Durras Beach this afternoon. I was actually in Broulee so it took me some time to make my way there. When I arrived I met Estelle and she described how they had been lost. As you can imagine she was very upset at the thought of these precious items being gone forever. These kind of recoveries generally take only a few minutes to find, however these two rings proved to be a little elusive. It wasn't until my second gridding of the area that I was able to detect them. The rings had sunk to about 75mm into the soft dry sand so it is easy to see how they can quickly disappear out of sight. Quick thankyou to Ray at https://www.detectaden.com.au/ who informed Estelle of my services. What a great afternoon.

Garmin watch lost and found

2 years ago

Something a little different from recovering Jewellery. This Garmin watch was lost in the soft sand when it fell out of a bag. I spoke with the wife of the gentleman who lost the watch on the beach but was unable to detect the area due to the crowd of people (Australia Day). Fortunately it began to rain later in the day and I was able to search the area and find the watch two days after it was dropped. The sand being so dry due to the hot weather, and possible foot traffic, had caused the watch to sink about 100mm deep. Got to love smiling faces.

Gold Pendant search

2 years ago

Got a call from Maria this morning. She was on Mckenzies Beach with her family. Her daughter Carmen (pictured) had lost a gold pendant when it dropped from the chain around her neck. She also dropped a crucifix which they were able to find. However the pendant had sunk deeper into the soft sand. Fortunately they were able to give me a good location to search and using state of the art detecting technology I was able to retrieve it for them. A big thank you to the Estanillo family for letting me bring some joy into their life. I love doing this.
